Would it be better to taste life and die,
Than to have never been born?
Would it be better not to have been born,
Than to taste life only to suffer death?
At this point,
Does it even matter?

Ah the old age philosophical question. Does it even matter… a great artist I know believed nothing even matters… shout out to Lauryn Hill
Love Lauryn Hill! Thanks for reading and commenting my friend!
Great read,
thought provoking and
wonderful brevity!! 💯
At this point it really
doesn't matter to me! 😊
Thanks for sharing my friend!
Best regards ✌️ Thad
Thanks Thad! Your read and thoughts are appreciated my friend. Have a great day! 🙏❤️
Great questions that I am sure have many opinions. As for me I had a good time but wouldn't do it again. Fun read
Thank you, Soren. Your time and thoughts are much appreciated, my friend.
What I want to know is - would it have been better in the USA to have trusted someone without such a dodgy barnet (hairstyle), or rug on their head, to lead them? Doh!
Do you even have to ask that? 🤣 Well, we voted him in...so I guess you do! 🤷♂️ Ah. Americans. What can I say? 🤦♂️ Thank you so much, Orchi, for reading and for asking that even more pertinent question.
An interesting poem, enjoyed the read!
Thank you, my friend! Glad you enjoyed!
You’re very welcome!
Depends on what follows, I say. If nothing at all, I've nary use for existing. If what the Scriptures promise, then everything is worth the prize. But enough of me. Charmingly rendered in tantalizing brevity with an almost sneakily haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Indeed. I concur with you, actually! 💯 Thank you, so much, my friend. 🙏❤️
Well where would you start, so many equations. For me i survived but i would not want to do it again, enjoyed the read
Indeed. That's where I exist too! Right there. I'm here, I've survived, never again. LOL! Thank you, my friend, much appreciated! ❤️🙏
You are very welcome
to live, to love, to long, to lose ...concern yourself not with what was or what will be... you're alive, quite the miracle itself. you have already been born, might as well have fun with it
Truth. Thank you for reading and for your thoughts, my friend. 😊
Great questions.
Thank you, Thomas! Hope you have a great day! ❤️🙏
Excellent write Tristan
Thank you, Tony!
You're welcome
The answer to this is, I think, everything that lives must die. We can accept that and reach some level or contentment or struggle flutily against it. Well said.
Indeed. Thank you Dan, much appreciated! ❤️🙏
It does make one wonder. Almost like the chicken or the egg scenario 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
Exactly. Thank you, my friend! Hope your Friday is going swimmingly. Here's to February and another month closer to Spring! 😊
Yay! 🙏🏻👍🏻✌🏼
Hmmm... a thought-provoking piece. A fine write. Nicely done.
Thank you, Tom! Much appreciated!
